Shyanne SansomGifted students with learning disabilities: A current review of the literature

Abstract

Students who are both gifted, and learning disabled, face challenges that most of their peers do not. Their disabilities and their strengths are often overlooked. Teachers may only focus on a student's weakness and fail to see high intelligence, or the giftedness may mask the disability and cause the child to appear average. Even when they are correctly identified, gifted and learning disabled students' social, emotional, and intellectual needs are often overlooked in the effort to remediate their disability. These students must be correctly identified as being gifted and having a learning disability in order for their needs to be adequately met. Effective programming for gifted and learning disabled students also includes social and emotional support, as well as interventions which focus on strengths, rather than weaknesses. These students will meet their potential only when their needs are appropriately met.Keywords: gifted students, learning disabled

M.M. BadrThe truncated queues with bulk arrivals and hyperexponential service time distribution with reneging

Abstract

This paper deals with the steady-state solution of the queueing system: MX/Hk /1/N with reneging in which (i) units arrive in batches of random size with the interarrival times of batches following negative exponential distribution, (ii) the batches are served in order of their arrival; and (iii) the service time distribution is hyperexponential with k branches. Recurrence relations connecting the various probabilities introduced are found. Some measures of effectiveness are deduced and some special cases are also obtained.Keywords: queueing system: MX/Hk /1/N, hyperexponential

The contributions of women in the socio-political and economic development of women had often been sidelined or totally neglected in the history of Nigeria.

The separation concept is essential in convex programming. In particular, the convex sets separation. In this work the Hahn-Banach theorem is presented, with great generality, together with an important separation theorem, its consequence. Then are followed the necessary mathematical steps towards the minimax theorem, an important result in the applications of Game Theory to economics, finance and management.Keywords: Hahn-Banach theorem, separation theorems, convex programming, minimax theorem

The complimentary role which the social media performs has increased the level of complexity of Nigerian politics. The increase in information flow, especially at the informal level, has bridged the wide informational gap which existed for a long time between the government and the governed. Nigeria's political history is tainted with several military incursions into governance. This was characterized by the intense emasculation of all informational avenues, especially the press. The aim of this paper is to analyze the roles of the social media in our society. It also seeks to rationalize the need for social media in a democracy and the inherent challenges, as they relate to the Nigerian experience. The paper concludes by taking into cognizance, the weak regulatory framework that should drive access and content generation.Keywords: social media, Nigerian experience

Reliability test for the instrument was based on the Pearson products movement index which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.81. All the 90 copies of questionnaire self-administered were all retrieve4, well filed and used for the study. A statistical tools of mean(x) and standard deviation(SD) were adopted as methods of data analysis. Results revealed that computers, E-mail, text message and so on are kinds of ICT tools used in promoting unethical related behaviours; that unethical behaviours/ practices can be promoted using ICTs and that ethical transparent and responsible behaviours/practices in stock exchange market are to be entrenched using ICTs. Recommended by the study are that executive managers and top officials of the stock market should encourage ethical consciousness in their respective operation branches, insist on the use of ICTs within the limit of ethical transparent and responsible parameters set out and organize conferences or seminars for all employees in the organize conferences or seminars for all employees in the organization on quarterly basis to sensitize them on the need to use ICTs in entrenching ethically transparent and responsible behaviours/practices in the organization.Keywords: entrenchment, ethics, transparence, responsibility
